          What is Retroweaver?
          <p> Retroweaver is a tool that enables you to take advantage of the new Java 1.5 language features in your source code, while still retaining compatability with 1.4 (and older) virtual machines. Retroweaver operates by transforming Java class files compiled by a 1.5 compiler into class files which can be run on an older virtual machine.</p>
